MEMBERS ONLY: Private tour of “Alberto Burri: The Trauma of Painting”

 

December 02, 2015

Join us for an exclusive private visit to the Guggenheim Museum outside of regular hours to see “Alberto Burri: The Trauma of Painting” with the exhibition curator Emily Braun, Distinguished Professor of Art History at Hunter College and The Graduate Center, CUNY, and a member of CIMA’s advisory committee.

The exhibition, the first major retrospective in the United States in over 35 years, showcases the work of pioneering Italian artist Alberto Burri (1915-95) on the occasion of the centenary of his birth. It is the most comprehensive show of his work ever mounted, featuring the Sacchi (sacks) for which Burri is best known as well as other less familiar series, such as Catrami (tars), Muffe (molds), Gobbi (hunchbacks), Bianchi(whites), Legni (woods), Ferri (irons), Combustioni plastiche (plastic combustions), Cretti, and Cellotex works. Learn more about the artist at the Guggenheim’s special exhibition website.

RSVP is now full. To be added to the event’s waitlist, please write to info at italianmodernart.org
